man with character ever sues for libel
1t Ia only the fellow, who having no
character, and feeling his reputation at

making 1t do duty for character, who
sues for libel. A man with good
character can go to work and pound out

who sues him generally possesses. There
Ia all the difference imaginable between
a good character and good reputation.
Joseph Of old had a good c7aracter,
Potiphar's wife had a good reputation.
The reputation got away with the char
acter for a little season. but In the end

the false position into which IL had ten

The time Is rapidly drawing near when Mr.. Hewitt
must appoint successor to Corporation Couhsci
Morgan j. O'Bricn. The chances seem to favor Pres
ident Henry r. Bcekman, of the Board of Aldermen
He is good lawyer, honest man, scion OF ono OF
the Oldest Knlckcrbockcr families in the city, leader
of the County Democracy and for the last year has
held the Board of Aldermen in check IL tho Board
has done nothing Of any particular moment, on the
other hand there has been no grave scandal Iie has
held the most confidential relations with Mayor Hewitt
and has relieved hat official Of good deal OF the hard
routine work Of the Office.
But there is a strong rival to President Beckman-
and a dangerous onc-for the place. There sever
al wefnformcd people who believe that for twenty
four hours least Mayor Hewitt had about made up
his nina to appoint Charles +. Mactean instead Of
Morgan J. OBrien. Only tho rcsolue attitude OF the
Tammany Hall leaders prevented this. They, In
effect, demanded tho appointment OF Mr.. OBrien
Mayor Hewitt post poncd the appointment OF Corpora
ton Counsel for day beyond the date announced
By him, and then appointed Mr. O'Brien IL Mr.. Mac
Lean could have obtained the consent Of the Tammany
leaders at that TINE he would almost certainly have
been apponted for Mr.. O'Brien did not desire the
place This consent he could not then obtain. Now
the situation IS changed. Is possible that tho Tam
many leaders may now be willing to take MI MacLsan
their candidate. lie has never been connected with
Tammany Hall all his affiliations with the County
Democracy. But It is a curious fact that he IS In
tmae with none Of the leaders Of that organization
He could not obt ain its Endorsement last june when
the was to DO filled This would make him
moro acce ptabc to Tammany Hall
There is good deal of patronage In the Corporation
Counsel's Office in tho way OF places for impecunlous
Young lawyers, and Tammany Hall has Its full share
of these on its rolls. Much Of Mr. MacicanS strength
IS due his social position. lie IS intimate with thc
family OF cx- Mayor Edward Cooper. Mr. Cooper APP
